You really need to think more clearly about what you're trying to accomplish.
Maybe sketching it out on paper will help you. What you've described so far
sounds like:
postfix -> LDAP -> SASL -> PAM -> pam_ldap -> LDAP
This is unnecessarily convoluted, and all the steps into and out of PAM/LDAP
are ridiculous. Figure out what you really want to do first, find the
configuration that takes the most direct path to get there, then test it step
by step.
